Willow Tree

[Verse 1]
You see the sky up above you
You see it through the eyes of a boy who
Who dreamed of a better day
Didn't know what he'd wish away

But then he left in the morning
Left the only girl who ever really knew him
Chasing thoughts that he didn't need
Saying words he didn't believe

[Chorus]
If I could go back a thousand days
I'd build a house so that we could stay
I wanna live in that memory
Of you and I by the willow tree

Forget the rush under city lights
The faded dreams and the endless skies
I wanna live in that memory
Of you and I by the willow tree

[Verse 2]
He looks down at the pavement
Thinking 'bout the world he walked away from
As he dreams of a better day
The kind of scene that he wished away

And no, you don't need to read minds
To know he's always longing to feel like
The child that he used to be
Now that child's crying out to me

[Chorus]
If I could go back a thousand days
I'd build a house so that we could stay
I wanna live in that memory
Of you and I by the willow tree

Forget the rush under city lights
The faded dreams and the endless skies
I wanna live in that memory
Of you and I by the willow tree

(You and I by the willow tree)
